Show your country pride. FlagPole helps you create beautiful widgets for your home screen and provides authoritative information on flag etiquette. Two things, done with care. A FLAG WORTH PUTTING ON YOUR PHONE β€’ Build a widget in the Studio and choose your flag: today's 50-star Classic, Betsy Ross's ring of thirteen (1777), the Star-Spangled Banner (1814), the 48-star flag, or a weathered classic. β€’ Every flag is rendered true to history: correct stripes, star patterns, and proportions, in the deep brick red and navy a real flag has. AN ALMANAC THAT KNOWS THE CALENDAR β€’ FlagPole tracks all eighteen federal flag-flying days β€” from Flag Day and Independence Day to Patriot Day and Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. β€’ It shows you when the flag flies full-staff and when it comes down to half-staff, including the Memorial Day half-staff-until-noon rule that most people miss. β€’ It knows the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day, so you never have to guess. β€’ Turn on flag-day reminders and FlagPole tells you the morning of. GET IT RIGHT, WITH THE RULE TO BACK IT UP β€’ Every etiquette tip is grounded in the U.S. Flag Code. β€’ When to raise it, when to light it for night display, when it comes down to half-staff, and how to keep it serviceable. β€’ FlagPole gives you the correct answer, not a vibe.
